Due to the doubling of the Amsterdam-Utrecht line there will be a new station built at Amsterdam Bijlmer with 6 railway tracks instead of 2 and also the 2 metro tracks. Fortunately people have learned in the past and the new platforms will be very, very wide.

Here you see the underpassing of the new Bijlmer station. On the left side you see a temporarily underpassing which is very narrow. The new underpassing will be very wide when all construction works will be finished and will be integrated in the surrounded area which is a new place for people to go out. Here are a large cinema, the capitals football stadium and a music hall. On the other side of the station there is an enormous shopping area.
